Grace and Moses break down the recent headlines surrounding Alliance Defending Freedom’s courageous lawsuit to restrict the dangerous abortion pill, and what’s likely to happen next.

This week, the MN House released its Omnibus Health Bill which is a Trojan horse for further codifying abortion provisions into our state laws. Acting Director of Public Policy, Rebecca Delahunt, explains how this bill would strip funding from Pregnancy Resource Centers, expand taxpayer funding of abortion, eliminate abortion reporting requirements and all remaining protections for vulnerable women and girls facing unplanned pregnancies, and allow medical staff to leave babies who survive an abortion to die. Plus, Rebecca explains how the so-called Equal Rights Amendment erases womanhood and gives an update on the Kidnapping Bill. Get the facts, stand for truth!

On Thursday, March 23rd, the Minnesota House held a floor session on the Kidnapping Bill (HF 146). Along with allied groups, we brought hundreds of people to the Capitol to show their opposition to this dangerous bill, which passed the House in the early hours of Friday morning despite vigorous opposition. Grace and Moses broadcast live from the Capitol with key updates, including exclusive behind the scenes content from a rally right outside the House Chamber where opponents and supporters converged. If passed by the Senate and signed by the Governor, this dangerous bill would allow a court of the state to take custody of children if parents do not want their children to undergo gender transition or other so-called “gender-affirming” procedures.

This weekend, pro-abortion activists vandalized a Pregnancy Resource Center in Minneapolis, which provides life-saving care for women, children, and families in one of our local minority communities. Tammy Kocher, Executive Director of New Life Family Services, joins Grace to share about the pro-abortion attack and the PRC’s incredible work. Here’s the bottom line: these attacks show that the pro-abortion movement in Minnesota is threatened by the life-saving work of PRCs. And we’ll never stop protecting women and children from abortion and giving women the support they both need and deserve to choose life.

Thanks to a Biden Administration edict, retail pharmacies can now dispense the abortion pill - and the big chains have announced they will do so in Minnesota. Grace discusses why this poses a danger not just to children in the womb, but also to their mothers. In Virginia, lawmakers discuss an effort to ensure that parents can always help their child when he or she struggles with gender dysphoria. Moses discusses the horrifying series of events that make this bill necessary in Virginia, in Minnesota, and across the country.
